LAS VEGAS — Houston’s defense so suffocated the Bills last month that defensive end Will Anderson Jr., cornerback Kamari Lassiter and friends demanded my full attention.
On offense, led by quarterback CJ Stroud, all the Texans require is 20 points. They’re 8-0 when they hit that figure. That defense is the star of their show.
Anyone who witnessed the 1985 Bears knows the feeling of seeing dominant defenders absolutely control the other guys.
Those Bears allowed just two regular-season enemies to tally at least 20 first downs, shut out two playoff opponents and pummeled the Patriots 46-10 in Super Bowl XX.
